The Los Angeles Rams aim to clinch the NFC West title with a victory over the Arizona Cardinals in a rematch of a Week 2 blowout loss. A win coupled with specific outcomes in other Week 17 games would secure the division title for the Rams.
It seems like ages ago. Week 2 of the NFL season was in September but for the Rams , the memory remains fresh. A 41-10 rout by the Arizona Cardinals made it so. “An ass whuppin’,” defensive lineman Bobby Brown III said this week. “Embarrassing,” defensive coordinator Chris Shula said. In all phases. “We got our butt kicked,” offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said.
The Cardinals added another touchdown to go ahead 21-0 early in the second quarter. “They sung the national anthem,” cornerback Cobie Durant said, “and the game was over.” The Rams have become a much different team than the one that started the season so poorly. After losing four of their first five games, the Rams' only subsequent losses have come against the Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles. The 37-20 beatdown by the Eagles on Nov. 24 on “Sunday Night Football” left the Rams at 5-6.
